taggie here.

Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.

We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Wow! The three days of school went by in a flash. I guess this happens when the longest school day you have is 7hours long, with an hour's break included =). Let's start with day1, shall we? It's a long post. So prepare yourselves. Get a cup of your favourite beverage, and sit down shrouded in your warm blanket. The Misadventures Of Kei.

Day1
Lessons, from 11am to 6pm =D. I don't really mind going home at 6+, if it means I will never be late for school. I went there at 9am with my mum, to buy my laptop. We bought the Lightweight LIFEBOOK S6520 from Fujitsu, the most expensive Fujitsu model there ==". I asked my uncle who supposedly knows computers beforehand, and you know what he said? To buy the most expensive one, because confirm best specs. And you save a ton of money. And so me and my mum bought it, since there was an enticing offer of free upgrade to 320GB SATA HDD for the first 1000 students, lol. When I got in line, it took me about half an hour to reach the front. That wasn't so bad. As soon as I got in line, the line started to spiral. There was a line, and then since it was too long, they had to make a loop. And another. And another. When I finally purchased mine, they had 3loops. Lucky me ^^. Have to love my mum too, for buying it for me =). And hafta thank my aunt, for sponsoring 1000bucks O_o. Really gotta repay them someday.

But now this meant that I have to lug a big plastic bag containing my purchase around the whole day. Ooookay. No problem. And so I did, headed off to my first class, Statistical Theory of Business. Which wasn't so bad. It was really interesting, combining some aspects from Amaths. I am glad I took it. Lol. I bet it looks like gibberish to those who didn't take it. An hour's break, and we ate at koufu. We, meaning me and my two new friends Adam and Ethan. Adam is roughly 180cm tall lol, and is a slacker, Jack of all trades master of none. Ethan's roughly my height but taller than me, is a slacker, and a gamer. Lol. My school's koufu western food? It's alright. The mashed potatoes is just a slop tho. It's like those military camps where they just take a ladle and handle slop out of a giant pot to the recruits. it tasted like slop too. The chicken chop was pleasant but the spaghetti sucks. Poor man's food I guess. Lol =p.

After lunch it was Economics, which I must say is pretty awesome. The subject was okay. But what the tutor did... Was awesome. He let us off after 45minutes of introduction, no teaching on the subject. He introduced himself, as do we, he talked about what economics was about, and we were off. We had an impromptu one and a half hour's break. No other words can describe him as much as certain Internet slang, such as AWESOME, or epic. Lol. So we went to explore our school's library. Apparently, this must be a standard in other poly libraries as well. We can watch movies, whatever movies that was available to us. Which I felt, again, is awesome as heck. I saw a girl watching a Disney movie though. Which freaked me out. A poly student... openly watching a Disney movie. Alone. I was just stunned. And she wasn't that hot either =p. Lol. So we went to our next class, a marketing lecture, my very first lecture of my school life.

Take note I was lugging my lapster* all day =D. It was interesting. And again awesome. Awesome will now be some sort of keyword, so you know what to expect. She went through the lesson after some very interesting introductions that kept us involved and laughing, and finished it 45minutes before the end time. We went home at 5. Simply awesome. The best first day of school in my life. I get to leave early for almost every class.

*Lapster. Lappie/Lappy is way too feminine a name to call my laptop. I thereby dub thee Lapster™. It sounds cool, and macho at the same time =D. It doesn't have that cutesy wutesy ring to it.

Day2
You will not believe my luck. After such an awesome first day, I would have never expect one of the worst days in my life. My first class was at 9AM, to 2pm, so 2subjects for today, which I expected to be awesome! Guess what happened. Lol, no need, this be a blog, and suspense almost has no place here.

I OVERSLEPT. BY HOW MUCH? I WOKE UP AT... 9AM IN THE FRIGGIN MORNING. I WOKE UP AT THE EXACT SAME TIME MY LESSON STARTS. IMAGINE MY DISTRESS. IMAGINE MY DESPERATION. IMAGINE THE EXPLETIVES I SHOUTED AND THOUGHT IN MY HEAD.

I will now go into step by step mode. To be precise, I woke up at 9.03am, which gave me approximately 7minutes to reach there before i be counted late and miss my second day of school. At first, I did not know it was 9. I heard the House phone ring, okay, woke up and picked it up. No one was on the line. Hm. Okay, headed back to bed. Rolled over, checked my phone. 9.03am. "...." By saying dot dot dot dot really fast, that's roughly how long it took me to react and for the adrenaline to reach my blood. I stormed out of bed, wiped my face, grabbed some clothes, slipped on a pair of jeans and took a shirt. I had planned to ball that day, but at that time it was out of the question. If I were to be marked absent it would ruin my whole day. I took the ball out my bag, wore socks and slipped on the shoes that I can slip on the fastest, grabbed my stuff, open the door, lock the door, rush to the lift. Time: 9.05am. I did all that in 2minutes. It took me a minute to wear my shoes and lock the door. So ya. The lift was taking it's own sweet time. I ran out, and friggin sprinted towards the bus stop like I was the guy behind Usain Bolt. I had to climb up an overhead bridge, run to the other side, and then basically hop down to safety. As I was hopping my bus came. I missed it. Time: 9.07am. Just great.

I waited 3minutes for the bus to come, which felt like 10minutes. 10minutes meant alot if you have 5minute to reach there in time, but as I sat there and waited, I gave a call to Adam and Ethan, asking them to help cover for me, hopefully the tutor would believe them. I told them to tell her I had a stomachache and was on campus, but they knew I overslept as I told them. Bus reached that place in 4minutes. I raced to the mrt station, hoping to catch the train on time. Like I said, it wasn't my day. I just missed it by a couple of metres, as I saw it leave the station, ever so slowly. Oooookay. 3minutes to the next train, 9minutes to reach Yio Chu Kang. Time: 9.15am. As I sat down there, I was just thinking my plan of action. What do I do? What do I say? If I run fast, I should be able to get there by 9.30, 20minutes past the allotted time to be late, but hey, better late than never right? It was only my second day.

The train came, finally. I got on, and now it was just a 9minute break before I run an estimated 800m. When before it reached ang mo kio, the station before yio chu kang, the train... It slowed down. What the damn. I can literally see it slow down, and attempt to speed up, for a good 1minute. It was sputtering. I prayed to god it wasn't a train problem. And thank god, it wasn't and we were on the way. 1minute to countdown, to before I start bolting. But now I had 1minute less, because of the train. A total of 9minutes to reach my classroom on the 5th floor. Time: 9:27. I ran as soon as the sliding doors opened. As I galloped down the flight of stairs, I realized something I should've realized before I left my house. My jeans were way to big, and my black collared tee was way to small. One wrong move and everyone could see my briefs, both due to the small shirt and over sized pants. How over sized? I could stuff an adult chicken into the space I have in my pants. And my shirt was barely covering my hip. Okay. This was gonna be tricky. Every 5steps I had to pull up my pants, to avoid embarrassment, but of course, I was embarrassed in a different way, treating everyone to a sight of a grown boy running and pulling his pants up every 5steps. Upon further thinking, no wonder it seemed so easy to slip into my jeans. I just literally put my legs through the leg holes and pulled up. No resistance. Jeans were never meant to be slipped into.

Okay, I got to a checkpoint, the place with a lift! And THANK GOD it was at my level, so I got on and pressed the 5th story. In the short wait in the lift, I realized another startling fact. I had yet to pee, as everyone does when they wake up in the morning. And I can't stand the embarrassment of leaving in the middle of my class for the toilet, after being late. Time: 9:28. Okay, just right. Half a minute to run to the toilet, a minute to pee, half a minute to head to class, and hopefully be excused. I sprang out of the lift, and it being my luck... The door heading out was locked. No time. I ran down one story, and as I ran, the fearful thought of the door at level 4 being locked too. Of course, it just wasn't my day. It was locked. I ran down another story. 3rd level. After completely wasting 1 minute, I hastened towards another flight of stairs, running all the way to the 5th story and heading to the toilet. Finally emptying my bladder after that misadventure.

Okay, no time to check the time ==", I immediately power walked towards to the classroom, out of stamina to run further. Fortunately I was wearing black, because I was drenched. Luckily someone was heading to the toilet, opening the door for me, preventing me the awkward situation of knocking on the door 20minutes late and entering, the whole class just staring at you, wondering where you where. I walked in, previously stated, completely wet. Everyone still stared, after all, how often do you get a late classmate entering looking as if a giant spat on me. I looked at the tutor, she looked at me. I immediately apologized,"Sorry I'm late." and turned away to look at the clock. 9:33pm. 3minutes off target, because of the stupid bad luck. Oh man. The tutor said," You're late." Well DUH. Can you not see the blinking red light of the clock, me gasping for breath and in a complete state of moisture? "See me after class." "Okay." That wasn't so bad. At least I can beg for forgiveness after class, hoping she won't mark me absent.

The lessons was Effective writing, how to write a business letter and such, but she only did a short intro. Of course, I missed half the lesson, how would I know? It was practically English lesson, and I was looking forward to it like heck and I was late. Simple awesome. Lol. I liked what she was teaching. After class, which ended half an hour earlier, I walked up to her,"You wanted to see me?" In summary, she asked why I was late. I told her honestly, I overslept, I'm sorry I was late for class, and I promised to never let it happen again. She said it was a lousy excuse, and that I could've come up with a better one. Who to the what? So potentially, I could've come up with some elaborate story. That, I would do one day. So anyway, She excused me for that time. On the final note, I told her I woke up at 9, and rushed there as fast as I could, and again, I apologized and thanked her, and bowed. She's an awesome tutor.

Break time, I had spaghetti at the fast food canteen. Quite creamy, but one gets sianed of the taste very easily. Next, a lecture on Economics. I fell asleep. But I was awake on the important parts. She did an introduction on it for 45minutes, finally starting the lecture. She ended the lecture in 20minutes. If I could swear vulgarities, I would swear that it's f'in awesome. And so we ended at 115.

I and another friend, Edwin, made a plan to go to the Hougang gym later. And so we did. I reached home at 2, didnt eat my lunch. Slacked around the house, and went off at 3. Reached there at 330. He wanted to help me assist him in bench presses. Okay, so I did, rather awkwardly. He was roughly my height and a taller than me. He was "fat", but his upper body is built like O_o. He was strong. For bench press, He lifted a maximum of 20kg on each side, 4okg total. I was to follow his regime, which I didn't mind, I could learn some stuff. He started off at 12.5kg each, and increased. I started off with 7.5kg. We were to do four sets with about 8 repetitions, increasing weights with each one. I was stuck at 12.5kg, the weight he started with. I barely did 5. Ooookay. And so I followed his regime, doing less heavier weights than him but with same sets and repetition. By the end of it, my muscles ached as hell. We went to the toilet to cool down. He took off his shirt lol. His upper body was built O_o. He still had fats though =p, making it a wee bit irreproportionate. Lol. My whole upper body ached. We bid each other farewell and headed different ways, to see each other tml. Looks like I found some gym buddies =D.

Doing simple stuff at home turned into pain. I lifted my empty bag for 5seconds and my left hand lost all feeling. Lol. Talk about attacking the muscle. I went to sleep early, in hopes I won't be late today.

day3/today
Which I wasn't. I wasn't late =D. I reached my Marketing tutorial on time. Ethan was being sorta of an ass though. He wanted to race me from where I just boarded to the Mrt. Messages:
Ethan: I'm at Mac. Race you?
Keith: I just boarded the mrt.
E: Oh. I win :-).
K: Lol. Ass =).
So I sat down, with the tutor having just got there. He's a pretty nice guy. I've learnt that Marketing isn't just selling stuff =). It's a pretty good diploma to have. Lol.

We went for our break half an hour earlier. So I went to eat Mac's breakfast =D. Haha. Awesome. Today was the day of my poly's Club Crawl, which was a CCA fair, every cca will put on a booth of sorts and try to convince us to join.Seeing as we had an hour to spare before our next class, we went to take a look. As we walked towards our sports hall where it was held, I saw a girl in a pikachu suit. From that, I could tell the club crawl was to be epic. I promise pictures of the pikachu as soon as I can get them, which is probably tml.

I personally felt it was epic. It was hustling and bustling, and I like the atmosphere. After walking around one time, it was time for business. I looked around for the basketball booth to sign up. None in sight. After searching for a good ten minutes, having wild thoughts that it was banished like GM, I finally found it after asking around with some girls from my class whon planned to try out as well. It was in some secluded corner, with no sign whatsoever. "..." Whatever, I signed up, being the third one there. It said to state the position I played. See that I have no fixed position, I put there "Guard", which was a basic summary of what I do. the tryouts are this coming tuesday. PRAY FOR ME>.<. =D.

The clubs I'm thinking about joining. Guitar Club, Japanese Cultural Club, Kickboxing or Aikido. I srsly think at most I can squeeze two ccas with each other, and I'm definately sticking with basketball for all three years so ya. I can only pick one out of these.

I had *planned* to join Student Union, but they had a non-attractive booth and no advertisers, so I had no idea what they did, and was uninterested.

I wanted to sign up for Foreign Bodies, which is a hiphop dance CCA. I always had an interest in hiphop dancing, except for one major detail. I cannot dance to save my life. So that was out of the question.

Cheerleading also peaked my interest. But, with my size, I'm more likely to be thrown by ppl than to throw ppl, so no. Lol.

Stage Arts interested me a little. But for reasons I shall not enclose =D.

Anyway, the guitar club had a miniscule booth. But it offered me an opportunity to learn more about the guitar, and that means to me I get to learn how to play more songs, so I signed up, for the music.

Japanese Cultural Club was where the pikachu came from. So I ventured over to take a look. It was very interesting. They had cosplayers, and a kappa. Lol. According to thier brochure, it's for anime addicts, and the Japan-nophiles who love japan. Lol. I want to learn more about Japan, hopefully pick up a few japanese words, learn more about their culture, and hopefully, they have a field trip at the end of the year. Lol. So I signed up.

Kickboxing was a pretty agressive display. But it impressed me nonetheless. I thought about joining a martial art all along, as then i can discipline both my body and mind. Kickboxing seemed a very exhilarating art, but it was so aggressive I'm afraid it might affect basketball. But I'm willing to go for the tryouts.

Aikido... it's the original martial art I had planned to join. But it's held at Tanglin CC =(. I'm lazy. Lol. Aikido is roughly about the art of stopping your opponent without hurting them, involving throws and grapples.

PEOPLE. LET ME HEAR YOUR OPINIONS.

They had alot of performances by our school's performance clubs like stage arts, foreign bodies and the likes. But we headed down to our next class, a class I would come to love SPORTS AND GAMES. I like my tutor for that. He's an awesome lecturer, though he has this tone of voice which makes me fall asleep, even though I want to stay awake for his lectures. They were funny, and it was interesting, the way he phrased things. Sports and Games would invovle Bio ^^. I am really glad to know the subjects I learnt in secondary school will not go to waste =). It ended an hour early, and so I went back to club crawl to check out the basketballers list. When I signed up, I was the third one to sign up. When I came back, it was on the thrid page. Okay. I better step up my game. There were many guards ==" and forwards, and as I scanned the list twice... There are only two centers. Lol.

I headed back home soon after that. Pretty awesome first three days of school. Tml's schedule is from 9 to 4, and friday's the best of all, 8 to 12. =D. I wanted to post more about other stuff, since writing about these three days set my imagination a flowing, but I shan't . By seeing the scroll bar being reduced to a miniscule size, I think it's time to place my misadventures to a halt for the moment =).

Thanks for reading people, really appreciate it =). I miss seeing all of you. Though everyone has moved onto different paths in life, I believe the roads we take will intersect once again, as it once has. The friendship may drift, but like a link of chains it is strong, and I trust it will not break =).
